I remember the moment I hit the number I had wanted for over 20 years. I had finally done it. And almost immediately… I started struggling to keep it off. I felt confused. Frustrated. Like something was wrong with me. Then a friend asked me a simple question: “Who did you do it for?” And it stopped me.Because the truth was… I wasn’t doing it for me. I was trying to lose weight so people would like me more. So I could feel accepted. Enough. Seen. And in that moment, everything started to shift. Because I realized—if the reason I lost the weight wasn’t rooted in me, there was no way it was ever going to last. That’s when I began learning how to feel safe in my body… instead of trying to change it to earn approval.
